W mowie zależnej ustal cztery rzeczy: kiedy relacjonujesz wypowiedź, czy treść nadal jest aktualna, czy zmienia się perspektywa osoby i czasu oraz czy relacjonujesz zdanie, pytanie, polecenie czy prośbę.
| Direct Speech | Reported Speech |
|---|---|
| Present Simple | Past Simple |
| Present Continuous | Past Continuous |
| Present Perfect | Past Perfect |
| Past Simple | Past Perfect |
| Past Continuous | Past Perfect Continuous |
| will | would |
| can | could |
| may | might |
| must - obowiązek | had to |
Direct Speech i Reported Speech
Direct Speech cytuje dokładne słowa:
Tom said, "I am tired."
Reported Speech relacjonuje ich sens:
Tom said that he was tired.
W mowie zależnej zwykle nie używamy cudzysłowu, dopasowujemy zaimki, czas może się cofnąć, a określenia czasu i miejsca mogą się zmienić.
Say czy tell
Say
say + (that) + zdanie
- She said that she was tired.
- Tom said he would call later.
- She said to me that... - poprawne, ale w zwykłej mowie naturalniejsze jest
tell.
Tell
tell + osoba + (that) + zdanie
- She told me that she was tired.
- Tom told us he would call later.
Nie mów:
She told that she was tired.She said me that she was tired.
Poprawnie:
- She said that she was tired.
- She told me that she was tired.
Backshift - zmiana czasów
Jeśli reporting verb jest w przeszłości, czas w relacjonowanej wypowiedzi często przesuwa się wstecz.
Present Simple na Past Simple
- "I work from home," Anna said.
- Anna said that she worked from home.
Present Continuous na Past Continuous
- "I'm studying," Kate said.
- Kate said that she was studying.
Present Perfect na Past Perfect

Past Continuous na Past Perfect Continuous

Czasowniki modalne
- will -> would
- can -> could
- may -> might
- must w znaczeniu obowiązku -> had to
Przykłady:

- Anna said that she would call me the next day.
- "I can help you," Tom said.
- Tom said that he could help me.
- "I must leave now," he said.

Past Perfect, would, could, should i might zwykle pozostają bez zmiany.
Kiedy backshift nie jest konieczny
Backshift nie jest automatyczny.
Reporting verb w teraźniejszości
- Tom says, "I'm tired."
- Tom says that he is tired.
Fakt nadal jest prawdziwy
- The teacher said, "Water boils at 100°C."
- The teacher said that water boils at 100°C.
Informacja nadal jest aktualna

- Jeśli nadal tam mieszka: Anna said that she lives in Poznań.
W transformacjach zawsze kieruj się kontekstem i wymaganym znaczeniem.
Zmiana zaimków oraz czasu i miejsca
Zaimki zmieniamy zgodnie z perspektywą:
- Tom said, "I like my new job."
- Tom said that he liked his new job.
- Anna said to me, "I'll help you."
- Anna told me that she would help me.

| tomorrow | the next / following day |
